Is there a way to display the mass of a selection of parts through iProperties ? Similarly to the way to show the mass of a single part but but selecting multiple parts and getting their collective mass ?

Anthony,
I am not sure if this will help you, but if you go to the styles editor, under parts list you can either create a new parts list style, or modify the existing. Either way there is an option that allows you to add a "MASS" column. This way it would give you the mass for each member of your assembly in the BOM.
You can do something similar to what Scott has suggested in the assembly file itself. Open the BOM of the assembly (Assemble tab > Manage > Bill of Materials). Click on Choose Columns (see image) and double-click the Mass property. This will list the mass of each component of the assembly (parts and subassemblies).
However, if I understand your question correctly, you are asking how to show the TOTAL mass of all selected components? That's a little trickier. There is no quick tool for that, but there are ways to get what you want. Is it just for a quick check, or do you need to display this info on a drawing somewhere or use it in a formula?
